Mr. WEO

come on...you're joke has run it's course

Subway is paying both the NFL and Allen. Obviously separate contracts—and obviously the NFL didn’t tell Subway who yo hire. Plus all these interviews are with media outlets, not with the NFL.

lol... "league blessed". Subway is paying the NFL for the sponsorship, not a blessing. Josh works for Subway in all of these appearances--it was a master stroke for Subway to have him do as many "SB press row" interviews as possible with their product featured. How is it you don't understand this? Or maybe you're just trolling me---OK...you got me! I thought you were serious for a minute.

Exactly. The article brought this up in detail. The OP didn't read it carefully. The article also brings up a rule change about tackling that would potentially have twice the impact on lowering injuries than would switching to gras---but the NFLPA was predictably against that. As with new helmet technology in the past, NFLPA pays lip service to actual player safety.

You think the NFL has to give players permission to enter into contracts with companies to endorse products? Or that they can cancel the endorsement deal Josh made with Subway? lol---that's pretty wild.

This statement makes it clear that you did not read the entire first article you posted...

Jacksonville stinks. Bills should be able to handle those bums anywhere.

Upset? No just pointing out BS ("the NFL explicitly controls every player’s NIL", the NFL ruins players' careers if they don't do interviews). Also, it what you say was true, Josh would have the most brand endorsement deals, by your logic. He doesn't. Gruden embarrassed himself, his team and the League---and was still paid tens of millions for it. They go because they are paid by the brands to promote this brand or that. Subway, for instance.

that’s what I figured

boom goes the thread

What?? Who's reputation has "The Shield" ruined for not doing interviews...or held "hostage"? What are you talking about?

Who would trade a 1st at this point for Diggs and his contract? One answer is certainly not a team that clearly knows how to draft WRs....

no he didn't

On who's behalf would a suit be brought? Who is the potential plaintiff?

It's hard to imagine this guy has been the MVP of the league twice in 5 years. he failed to finish 2 of those seasons and was 2-3 in playoffs the other 3--getting exposed roughly vs KC. Other than the Houston game this year, his playoff performances have been below mediocre

Biscotti is also a POS. He had no problem with keeping Ray Rice---after he knew about the elevator video. They conspired to get Rice a light suspension and hide the video, and then when it became public, they pretended not to know and pretty much threw Rice to the wolves (where he belonged)--saying he lied to them about what happened in the elevator. So this nonsense about no tolerance from this owner is his typical BS. He's an A1 jock sniffer---pledging his "love" to Ray Rice by text during all of that.

Lol Ravens owner has "no tolerance policy"...yet he parades that POS Ray Lewis onto the field before his teams latest playoff dive.

Why are you excited about that? And not all coaches keep elevating positions coaches in the room to Coordinator. And there's no reporting that other teams offered either of them jobs that they turned down.

It's a complaint filed with the EEOC, not a suit. Anyone can file a complaint, apparently.

you've offered no evidence other than Shakir and the trade for Diggs. Strong work.

It doesn't belie what happened--it's what happened. Frazier was squeezed out gently, McD took over, then he moved a subordinate with no coordinator experience up. All in 3 seasons. Yes Daboll got another job. Then they promoted from within--the QB coach. Then they fired him and promoted from within--the QB coach (who was fired during his second season as an OC "playcaller" before that). It's not the most "exciting" way to manage coaching staff, but is seems McD is determined to promote guys who already answered to his authority. It doesn't reek of stability

I don't think McD is giving his DC much juice this coming season. And the 3rd OC and DC in 3 seasons isn't ideal.

NFL will still be live on standard network TV. Don't want to stream? don't have to. However, this product will allow you to watch multiple network and pro sports product lines wherever you are on a device. what's the problem?

he hasn't. so he really doesn't. We've discussed the 1 guy he's drafted who may still be on the roster this coming year and I listed for you all the bums he brought in lieu of drafted WRs. In all of that there is evidence he can't or won't adequately evaluate draft WRs or even the need for them. this isn't hard to grasp.

So in 6 years... Davis and Shakir and that was fine? There was never a need to invest another day 1 pick in a WR? Did Beane bring back Beasley and Brown for 2.0 because they were "process guys"? Or because they were legit in-season additions? They were awful. What about Benjamin, Kerley, Andre Holmes, Deonte Thompson, Robert Foster, McKenzie, Terrell Pryor (lol), Duke Williams, Kumerow, Emanuel Sanders, Crowder, Brown/Beasley (again!!), Tanner Gentry, Harty, Sheffield? "Process"?? Is it "we refuse to spend significant draft capital on WR, despite having the best passer in the NFL"? Wouldn't you rather the Bills at least take a swing and a miss on a day 1 WR, rather than parade an endless string of bums through the building? That's literally what they have done to the WR position, other than spending a 1st in trade for a few very good seasons of a WR1 (while his Vikings replacement has been running laps around him on a rookie contract (without a Josh Allen). It's the easiest question ever proposed to you. McD's work product at WR 6 years in will be Shakir, Diggs and (?). That's laughable but sad.
